Write Thing at the Write Time

We just celebrated the church's 6th year anniversary. Today as I am resting and feeling pain and fatigue in my body after yesterday's activities and also the euphoria of emotions of all that happened yesterday, I mulled over God's Word today in: New Living Translation Proverbs 14:10 Each heart knows its own bitterness, and no one else can fully share its joy. If someone would have asked me what I felt yesterday and probably what happened for the past 6 years, this verse best describes it. Something you can't fully equate or put into words. A life meant to be experienced rather than explained. Much like poetry. You don't feel the words really- more of felt and experienced it personally thats why a poem seems beautiful and true. To describe a life of a follower and disciple of Jesus- bittersweet. Bitterness that only your heart could fully know and joys that are beyond words to be expressed and could not be fully shared to others. Just like last Sund...

We've probably heard and even memorized this particular verse especially when you grew up with Sunday school. But the many times I have read it, I have not fully understood why children muat obey their parents. Some would reason out that some parents are not worthy of obedience. Maybe thats the reason why this verses where written to teach us why. Let's read the verse again: New Living Translation Ephesians 6:1-3 Children and Parents Children, obey your parents because you belong to the Lord, for this is the right thing to do. “Honor your father and mother.” This is the first commandment with a promise: If you honor your father and mother, “things will go well for you, and you will have a long life on the earth.” Read and understand. God's word not only teaches us about Jesus and salvation, but also gives us guidelines to live truly a christian life. And the best way to test your christianity is at home. Here, the writer which was Paul giving the Ephesian churc...

Proverbs 17:9  Love prospers when a fault is forgiven, but dwelling on it separates close friends. The picture is from my prayer wall. I was reading my daily devotional and the verse above written really struck me.  The bible verse reminds me of an idiom-' burn one's bridges': Have you tried that?  I have. But most of the time i'm the one at the other side of the bridge watching others burn bridges. Whether you are in the ministry or not, serving people or not, people will come and go. As a minister, you can pour out your life and give your best and still people will leave.  Oh I can get over every time someone walks off. Its nothing personal no matter how personal my occupation is. What saddens me is not why they left(everyone has reaaons. Its not always bout you), but how they left. I have tried experiencing the usual 'changing of numbers so I won't be able to contact them'.  Or The usual 'avoid me game' and even 'blocking me ...

Proverbs 3:3-4 Never let loyalty and kindness leave you! Tie them around your neck as a reminder. Write them deep within your heart. Then you will find favor with both God and people, and you will earn a good reputation. +FAVOR from Men and God? Keep Loyalty. Be Loyal. And be Kind even if people are not loyal or kind anymore. Its not something we earn. Its something we choose and we give. Good Reputation will just follow. God bless you!
